Vegan Millet Bowl w/ Jalapeño Tahini

This vegan millet bowl is full of plant-based goodness, with delicious roasted vegetables and a mouthwatering jalapeño tahini dressing!

a brand that I trust and use in my own kitchen. All opinions are my own, and I hope you love this vegan millet bowl!

Hi folks!! I’m back after a week hiatus to bring you a DELISH new recipe out of my brand new kitchen. My fiancé and I just moved, and this is my first recipe post from here! Today I made this vegan millet bowl that really speaks to my own taste and preference. My favorite thing in the world to eat is a buddha bowl, and this recipe checks all my boxes – a grain, some veggies, avocado (of course), and a killer dressing that ties it all together.

For this recipe I used Bob’s Red Mill millet, which came out perfectly fluffy and al dente! I’ve been using Bob’s Red Mill products in my kitchen for years, so when they asked me if I’d like to work with them in 2019, it was a huge YOU BET!! ;) They use high-quality whole grains that can be used for vegan, paleo, or even gluten-free cooking and baking. It means a lot to me to work with products in my kitchen that I know will work out every time, and this millet didn’t disappoint.

I’m really glad to start off my time in this new house on this note, creating a delicious recipe with a brand that I love and trust. I already feel like a completely different person in this new house. I’ve talked about this on my blog before, but I had a really rough year this past year (and that’s saying A LOT for me). And living where we had lived in the city really set me back in a lot of ways.

But I’m ready to put that all behind me. I’m ready to start living the life that I want to live. And that will include surrounding myself with people who support me and care about me, living and making choices with intention, and cultivating a positive mental attitude about life. So get ready for some great recipes going forward, and some happier blog posts! Stay tuned! ;)

Millet is the best — it is one of the original superfoods, together with avocado, and it was praised long before kale and quinoa got their publicity ;) I really love millet but it seems nowadays it doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

And again, you’re saying important words here: about living for yourself, getting rid of negativity. I’d been doing yoga for years and hearing “let go of what no longer serves you” at least once a week before I actually understood what it meant. As a result I quit my job and feel so much better for it. Good changes are important :)

I completely agree with you! I think that millet is super underrated, so I was happy to feature it in this recipe :) And I remember hearing that quite often in yoga too! When my mental health deteriorated, my yoga practice was one of the first things to go :( But I think now that I’m in a better space, it may be beneficial to start up again! :)

Yay for moving into your new place! I hope this one works out for you guys. I think I remember you saying you had a bunch of issues with the kitchen in the place you moved from. Hopefully this kitchen has much better vibes for you! ;)

This millet bowl sounds amazing, especially with that jalapeño dressing!

Congratulations on your new place Sarah! Settling in a new home and creating a new space with the one you love feels so grounding. You know I’m a fan of Bob’s, so I love this partnership! I love millet too… but I forget about it. Thank you for inspiring me – and I’m totally lovin that jalapeno tahini! (droooool!).

I definitely feel so much more grounded here! At our old place, it really felt transient – like I knew we weren’t going to stay. But our new home now feels much more permanent :) Thanks for your note, Traci! :)
